Florentino Accepts: Real Madrid's Plan to Replace Rodrygo With Another Star

Florentino has a clear plan to replace Rodrygo with another world-class star, and everything is decided

The future of certain Real Madrid players remains on the line due to their most recent performance. One of the names that clearly comes to the forefront in this scenario is Rodrygo Goes, who has left much to be desired throughout the season. Right now, he could be one of the significant departures from the club with the intention of strengthening this position with another player.

However, it seems that the name on the table to replace the Brazilian could be one of great expectations. This is because there is talk of the possibility of bringing Leverkusen's star Florian Wirtz to the white team. This German player has proven to have an outstanding level and makes it quite clear that he aims to be a candidate for the Ballon d'Or.

With Real Madrid, this footballer could achieve many accomplishments, and the white team would benefit from a very creative player. However, this operation could only take place if the Brazilian leaves, as he seems to have no place in the team.

Rodrygo's Replacement

The Brazilian's season has been quite disappointing, despite being somewhat more consistent than the last one. This is over the little more than 3,200 minutes in 50 matches, where he could barely produce 23 goal contributions.

Meanwhile, the young German footballer has been decisive both last season and this one for Leverkusen's positioning. With 3,100 minutes played in 42 matches, he has 28 goal contributions in a more withdrawn position than the Brazilian.

Additionally, one only needs to account for his last season, where he even reached the figure of 38 goal contributions playing as an attacking midfielder. Numbers that make the Brazilian look quite bad and could even displace him from the institution and his position.

Wirtz Is the Signing

The most challenging part of all this will be trying to make his incorporation with a value of more than 140 million euros, even reaching 150. However, it could be a very good investment, as at 21 years old, he has already been valued as one of the best in the world.
